The maximum image size allowed is 800 pixels wide. The maximum file size is 150kb.

Anything larger must be inserted as an external hyperlink to the image.

EMBEDDED IMAGES THAT ARE MORE THAN 800 PIXELS IN WIDTH AND 150KB IN SIZE MAY BE DELETED WITHOUT WARNING.

Images larger than 800 pixels wide cause the forum table to expand, requiring viewers to scroll back and forth to view the image and read the comments. This is extraordinarily annoying and may cause people to ignore your post.

Image file sizes greater than 150kb take longer to load (posting multiple pix with large file sizes in a single post will compound this problem) and will discourage people from viewing your post.

General internet etiquette is images should be 640 to 720 pixels wide and 72 DPI. People often want to see larger images and that’s fine as long as they aren’t embedded in a post. Simply provide a hyperlink to larger images and those that are interested can click on it to view the larger image.

Please do not abuse the system by virtue of being either obtuse ("I view the Internet at 1600 x 1200 or with high-speed, it's not a problem for me...") or pig-headed ("It's my thread, so I'll post how I **** well please..."). Resizing images is easy and nobody is too lazy to click on a link to an external image.

RESIZING IMAGES:

There are numerous image resizing programs out there. Photoshop, Fireworks, Picture-It, IrfanView, Photo-Suite, etc. I personally use the freeware IrfanView. There are lots of other freeware programs out there. Please PM me with recommendations of free image resizing programs and I can include them here.

IMAGE HOSTING:

There are lots of places on-line you can host images for free. Some even have image resizing options in their features.

POSTING IMAGES:

Once your pictures are hosted, add it to your post by using the "Insert Image" button in thebuttons that appear right above the window where you type your post. Enter the link to your picture when prompted. When posting multiple pix ALWAYS insert a line between images using the <enter> key.

Good Luck!

Have a good one while you can still laugh about it.. Don S..
